Well it has a better chance than before for sure. It may happen for the first game. The reason being since it is already out on many platforms why not expand it to the rest? Get people hooked on Minecraft then BAM release Mincraft 2 exclusive to Xbox one and people may actually buy their hardware just for it.

Except this is Microsoft behind the wheel now. They most likely wouldn't even consider porting to Nintendo. It's suprising enough that they'll continue to support existing ports. (LOL dat wording) Also, a "Minecraft 2" is unlikely. Minecraft is a game that simply continues to grow, and is never finished.

Yer but look at it from Micrososft's perspective. How do I milk this? Create Minecraft 2 with enhanced graphics and double the features and sell it again to the same people who bought number 1. I guess they coudl also do DLC packs and charge for those instead of a new game.

Sure. Totally going to happen. Saving the WiiU has to be Microsoft's first priority.


Back on duty:P

Hmm, you have a point. They need to cash in on this deal. I suppose they could monetize the updates, but there'll be backlash in the community. A full on new game would need to be built entirely of new content, otherwise it would flop. I can't see them going in that direction.

Yes. Now that Microsoft owns Minecraft, surely their first order of business will be to expand the number of non-Microsoft platforms on which it is available.

It doesn't seem like Microsoft is trying to be stingy with Minecraft. Here Phil even says that their goal is to evolve and innovate with Minecraft across all the platforms its on. Not just Xbox.

and you believe that?

Maybe slightly more likely now? I doubt MS spent 2.5 billion to make Minecraft XB1 exclusive, that would be a pretty poor investment. I think they'll be looking to spread this as far and wide as possible.

to answer the OP no, hell no. Matter of fact think im going to get it for one of my PS systems before MS does what MS does

I think your skepticism may be realistic thinking. How much faith can we put in Phil? He seems to always want to tell the fans what they want to hear but is he trustworthy?

MS will still control all versions.

It's unlikely to ever come to Wii U now, and that's a shame.
